Bandai has announced a brand-new collectible line that is sure to catch the attention of Zelda fans and figure collectors alike. Arriving in Japan in February 2026, the Legend of Zelda Weapons Collection is a series of palm-sized replicas based on some of the franchise’s most iconic equipment.
The toys are produced under Bandai’s long-running Candy Toy label, which specializes in detailed miniatures bundled with a small piece of gum. Each weapon comes pre-painted and includes a custom display stand engraved with the Zelda logo, allowing fans to show them off as part of a miniature armory.
What’s Included in the Collection
The lineup consists of nine standard designs plus one rare variant:
- Master Sword
- Hylian Shield
- Royal Claymore
- Zora Longsword
- Seven Jewels Dagger
- Great Eagle Bow
- Stonecrusher
- Lightscale Trident
- Rare Master Sword (Sheathed Version)
The sheathed Master Sword features an additional display base and support, letting collectors present the blade in a different pose. Each piece measures only a few centimeters in length, making them small enough to fit comfortably on a desk, shelf, or even alongside other Zelda merchandise such as amiibo.
A Nod to Zelda’s Design Legacy
Weapons have always been central to the appeal of the Legend of Zelda series, from the recurring Master Sword to unique items like the Lightscale Trident introduced in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. While Link and Zelda frequently receive attention through statues, plush toys, and figures, the weapons themselves rarely get dedicated treatment. This collection highlights their designs as standalone objects, giving fans the chance to appreciate the artistry that goes into Hyrule’s legendary arsenal.
The decision to include items like the Great Eagle Bow and Stonecrusher shows that Bandai is pulling from modern titles as well as long-standing icons, offering variety for both longtime players and newer fans.
Availability and Pricing
As with most shokugan lines, the weapons will be sold in blind packaging. Each box contains one random item, which means building a full set will require some luck or trading with other collectors. A case of ten boxes is priced at 4,950 yen in Japan, which is roughly $35 to $45 USD before taxes, shipping, and import fees. International retailers are already listing the set for preorder, often closer to $60 to $70 USD, reflecting higher demand and limited supply.
At the time of writing, many Japanese hobby shops have already sold through their initial allotments, so overseas fans may need to act quickly if they want to secure a set.
Will There Be More?
Bandai has not confirmed whether this is a one-off series or the beginning of a larger line of Zelda weapon collectibles. Given the vast history of items in the series, the potential for future waves is enormous. Fans could imagine everything from the Sheikah Slate and Bombchu to classic items like the Hookshot or Megaton Hammer receiving the miniature treatment.
A Collector’s Perspective
For Zelda fans, this release sits at the intersection of nostalgia and artistry. The Master Sword and Hylian Shield are instantly recognizable, but the inclusion of less obvious weapons adds depth to the lineup. For players who enjoy Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, seeing weapons like the Lightscale Trident brought into the spotlight is a welcome surprise.
As with most Zelda merchandise, availability may become the real challenge. The global fan base for the series is enormous, and with the next big Zelda title still in development, items like these serve as a way for fans to stay connected to the series in the meantime.
Final Thoughts
The Legend of Zelda Weapons Collection is more than just a novelty. It celebrates the importance of Hyrule’s iconic armory, giving long-overlooked designs their time to shine. With release set for February 2026, collectors should prepare for limited availability and rising demand. Whether you are a casual fan who just wants a Master Sword on your desk or a dedicated collector determined to assemble the entire lineup, this is a series worth keeping an eye on.
